Gala Bingo is probably the most talked about online bingo site, not only because of its mega massive online bingo player community, but also because of its strong presence among the land-based bingo halls. Bingo fans from Gala Bingo are currently preparing for a journey that the world is going to remember for a long time to come! Playing bingo is one thing, but combining it with an adventure sport is going to increase the stakes of this social game. Training for, what is said to be, the World’s Highest Game of Bingo are 24 employees from Gala Bingo. This lucky bunch is going to be playing atop the Mount Everest to set a new world record.

Gala Bingo’s supporters are excited about this new adventure and any true bingo fan will be right there rooting for these brave ones as they make their way through horrible weather, physical stress and high altitudes, all for the love of bingo! You didn’t think they were going to play bingo at Mount Everest just for some jackpot, did you? Well, true to its nature, this online bingo site is raising funds and awareness for the Sue Ryder charity as part of this bingo trek. Gala Bingo is hoping to raise the million that they are targetting for before the end of the year.

The stakes are high and there is definitely anxiety in the air, and anyone who has ever managed to climb all the way to the top of the Everest, will tell you it is not ordinary task. The mental and physical stamina required is beyond average, and the players not only have the mammoth task of getting to the top, but also then indulging in a real game of bingo. The clarity of mind required for the same is going to be a challenge in itself. We support this brave gesture and hope that bingo can finally make its mark where only a few men have gone before!

The quest to break the record for the world’s highest game of bingo is on. A 24-strong team of Gala  employees from across Britain is setting out to complete the challenging task of trekking 75 miles and ascending 2,700 metres up the world’s highest mountain, Mount Everest. This adventurous act will help raise £100k for Gala Coral’s group-wide charity Sue Ryder Care.

 Joining the team of trekkers is 42-year-old Mark Simm from Wigan – a bingo fanatic. Mark and his team will start their trek in Lukla on October 19 and should hopefully reach the Mount Everest base camp on October 24 and settle down to play the high-altitude bingo games. Mark and his team have been in training for this event playing bingo at a height of 400ft on top of St John’s Beacon Observation Tower, in Liverpool. They are shaping up by running long distance running and climbing hills. Says Mark : “It seems a bit daft, but if we’re going to do this challenge properly we need to be prepared so, apart from the high altitude bingo practice, I’ve also been playing double-speed bingo games to keep my mental faculties sharp because at 17,500ft, your thinking really slows down. This trek is a once-in-a- lifetime challenge for me and what keeps me going is the thought of standing on Base Camp, dabber in my hand, knowing that I’ll be raising vital funds for Sue Ryder Care. I hope we can do them proud.”

Simon Longbottom, managing director of Gala Bingo, said: “I am incredibly proud of Mark and the team who have volunteered for this challenge. I’m even prouder that we’ll be raising money for the excellent work of our nominated charity, Sue Ryder Care.” To support Gala Bingo’s fundraising efforts, play the bingo game dedicated to the cause.
